Gene 'Switch' May Explain DiGeorge
Syndrome Severity
ScienceDaily (Aug. 23, 2012) — The discovery of a 'switch' that modifies a gene known to be essential for normal heart development could explain variations in the severity of birth defects in children with DiGeorge syndrome. Researchers from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute made the discovery while investigating fetal development in an animal model of DiGeorge syndrome. DiGeorge syndrome affects approximately one in 4000 babies. Dr Anne Voss and Dr Tim Thomas led the study, with colleagues from the institute's Development and Cancer division, published August 23 in the journal Developmental Cell.
